35 Years of Misery & Counting
Happy for Doc and I’m glad that they got another series win, but 15 games in and still no J.D. Martinez is really concerning.

Series win’s are huge, especially against the Braves.
Now the soonest we can see Senga is on May 27. And there must be something more to the Teheran story because to release him after just one start smells really fishy. And oh yeah, Trevor Bauer is still out there unsigned, but I guess we’re too ‘principled’ to give him a shot even after that woman lied on him regarding those sexual abuse allegations.
Everyone wants to talk about Francisco Lindor having a big day and breaking out of his slump. But damn if winning a series and Sean Manaea pitching well again is much more important.

I like this move. Teheran is a 2-time All-Star and was a Mets killer back in the day. But I think that he can still pitch. Either way, with Megill and Senga down what have we gotsa lose.

No wonder Jomboy is popular on YouTube, because I would’ve never noticed this about my own team. Wonder of anyone else in the Mets organization has noticed and if so, are they going to do something about it.
Granted, when your starting pitcher gives up 6 runs, like Luis Severino did today, it’s hard enough to win. But when you got some dude named Tyrone Taylor batting cleanup and a .174 lifetime hitter named Zack Short also in your starting lineup (which should simply be some combo of Nimmo, Lindor, McNeil, Marte, Alonso and Stewart as your DH in the 1 through 6 spots until JD Martinez is ready imo), one thing becomes crystal clear: new manager Carlos Mendoza is beholden to the analytic nerds. And that’s not a good sign for 2024.
Obviously can’t get too caught up in one loss, but we are known for doing well on Opening day so there’s a little bit of a disappointment.
He’s getting a lot of flak online for his demeanor in this interview, but I’m not mad at him. Simply put, the Mets have given him shot after shot and he just hasn’t produced. So what he’s supposed to be, all smiles and cupcakes? He should be upset. And I’m sure that he knows he has to play better to get on the big stage and stay there. The Mets have a long and notorious history of draft busts, but J.D. Martinez was only signed to a 1-year deal and it’s not too late for Vientos to comeback, turn it around and be part of the future with the Mets.

Finally! The news I’ve been wanting to hear about all spring training and just like that we go from a 70-win team to a serious wild-card contender. In addition Pete gets much-needed protection in the lineup with a guy who hit 30-lus HRs last year. I’m excited.

Read too that Yamamoto had a 8-plus ERA during spring training and now this putrid statt to start the season. If you’re a Mets fan you’re definitely relieved right now.

Unless they sign JD Martinez I’m predicting 70 wins…tops.
RELATED: Steve Cohen has turned what he was ‘given’ into his new Mets beginning
An upcoming season that already doesn’t look promising gets even worse news. And it’s almost like Cohen has no idea how much Pete means to Met fans. Plus with all the talk of the Mets pursuing Juan Soto after 2024, what’s their backup plan for when Pete leaves? In other words, does no one in the organization understand how hard it is to replace a guaranteed 40 HRs and 100 RBIs a year?
